DAD

I'll Always be There for You!

It's a fascinating story that comes out of the 1989 earthquake which almost

flattened Armenia. This deadly tremor killed over 30,000 people in less than

four minutes. In the midst of all the confusion of the earthquake, a father

rushed to his son's school. When he arrived there he discovered the building

was flat as a pancake.

Standing there looking at what was left of the school, the father remembered

a promise he made to his son, "No matter what, I'll always be there for

you!" Tears began to fill his eyes. It looked like a hopeless situation, but

he could not take his mind off his promise.

Remembering that his son's classroom was in the back right corner of the

building, the father rushed there and started digging through the rubble. As

he was digging other grieving parents arrived, clutching their hearts,

saying: "My son! "My daughter!" They tried to pull him off of what was left

of the school saying: "It's too late!" "They're dead!" "You can't help!" "Go

home!" Even a police officer and a fire-fighter told him he should go home.

To everyone who tried to stop him he said, "Are you going to help me now?"

They did not answer him and he continued digging for his son stone by stone.

He needed to know for himself: "Is my boy alive or is he dead?" This man dug

for eight hours and then twelve and then twenty-four and then thirty-six.

Finally in the thirty-eighth hour, as he pulled back a boulder, he heard his

son's voice. He screamed his son's name, "ARMAND!" and a voice answered him,

"Dad?" It's me Dad!" Then the boy added these priceless words, "I told the

other kids not to worry. I told 'em that if you were alive, you'd save me

and when you saved me, they'd be saved. You promised that, Dad. 'No matter

what,' you said, 'I'll always be there for you!' And here you are Dad. You

kept your promise!"

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you or forsake you” (Deuteronomy 31:6).

 

You have probably heard the old cliche “God said it, I believe it, that settles it”. But thats actually not true or accurate. The truth is “God said it, that settles it”. It does not matter if we believe it or not.

 

God will never leave us or forsake us… Do you believe it? When things are bad, really bad, really really bad… do you still believe it? Maybe in those times rather than ask “God where are you… we might trust he is there and ask God what are you wanting to teach me, show me, reveal to me”. That might be a better use of our time. 

We don’t need to believe he is there… he is there regardless. 

 

I posted on my facebook page today yesterday a quote that said “God is not who you think he is, he is who he said he is”. Pretty powerful if you believe it. Why? Because he said he will never leave us or forsake us.
